Shadows on Top of Shadows, Marvelous Antique Mounted Albumen Photo

Regular price $40.00

I think this photo is just marvelous. Shadows upon shadows, some naturally occurring, some the product of shadow play--with the subjects having chosen just the right spot to stage their drama. I see a shadow couple at lower right, one on them wearing a hat, a second embracing couple center bottom, and then the silhouette of a bear to its left. The man in black with arms raised looks to be the choreographer and partial creator, with his arms very deliberately placed, and I presume the position of each of the seated subjects is according to shadow reason. Oh, the creativity of fun-making in earlier times. An albumen photo I believe, mounted to gray card.

Photo: 4 1/4" x 2 1/2". Mounted: 5 3/4" x 4". Very good condition.
